I upgraded to Visio 2013. I am using the standard detailed networking template. After adding a few items, Visio has gotten so slow its almost unusable. WWhen I move icons it takes 3-5 seconds to give me back control. ITS terrible. I have a Thinkpad T510 with a system score of 6.9's across the board and one 4.9, so I highly doubt its that. All other applications scream. I tried disabling hardware accelleration and updating my video driver which did nothing.
Like visio 2013, but sad the performance is so bad...any suggestions?

We investigated these issues and have released some improvements in the Jun Visio patch (fixes are around panning and zooming). The patch is present here - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2878322/en-us
I just got Vision 2013 and put it on 2 computers.
On BOTH it is running crazy slow. And to replicate:
- Open Visio
- Click on Cross-Functional Flowchart
then try and do anything. Just slow. I'm going back to 2010
I am experiencing the exact same problem. I had visio drawings I created with 2010 and after uninstalling Visio 2010 and installing 2013, my system came to a screeching halt with performance. Moving images around with the mouse key is taking FOREVER and even zooming in and out takes 20-30 seconds just to focus. It's painfully slow and I'm seriously considering uninstalling and going back to 2010.
I can confirm there is no difference with SP1. I've uninstalled 2013 and installed 2010 instead + Visio 2013 Viewer + Visio Compatibility pack. Grrr!
I installed SP1 for Visio 2013 and there is no difference in performance. This "blurring" effect is a ridiculous time-waster. Is there anyone from MS on this thread that can ask development if they will disable this "feature". They may think it looks cool, but when it takes me 3-5 seconds to work on a drawing after zooming in or out or moving up/down or side to side, it really shows a lack of sense on what would be best for the customers. I have a laptop with an experience index of 7.3 using SSD SED drives, it's not a hardware performance issue here MS.
